For those feeling the pressure to ‘paint on’ a seasonal smile, when in reality they enter the Christmas season amidst suffering, An Even Better Christmas is fine read.
In this book, Matt Chandler (The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas) underscores the transience and deceptiveness of a Westernised commercial Christmas.

By paralleling the biographies of Moses and Christ, Chandler highlights that Christmas is the beginning of a better exodus story.
